STOVE.

Application filed June 8, 1916. Serial No. 102.462.

To all "to/tom it may concern:

Be it known that We, SntoN N, MENTEL, MARY A. ll'iEN'll'lL, and GnomesE. llfeiiiiit, citizens of the United some. residing at Springfield, inthe county of Clark and State of Ohio, hove invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Stoves, of which-the following is aspecification,

This invention relates to improvements in stoves, and particularly tothut type of stove employing as a fuel." I

An object-of the invention is to provide a stove of this type which willbe simple in construction, economical in manufacture and effective inuse.

A further object of the invention is to provide a construction whereby aperfect combustion is obtained so that any odor resulting fromincomplete combustion is eliminoted.

A further object of the invention is to provide 2], construction wherebythe side walls of the store are subjected to the oling el'i'ect of atcurrent of fresh sir, which air is thereby warmed and allowed to escapeinto the room.

In the accompanying drawingsz-- Figure l a front elevation of n stoveembodying our l.lll} )l't)VG111Qnl'S with the front grating removed.

Fig. 2 is t1 section on the line 2 of Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33 of Fig. 1, with the addition of the grating.

In carrying out the invention, we employ a main easing of which 1represents the bark 2 the top, 3 the bottom and l and 5 the sides, thecasing lieiug completely open at the front. Located in the casing are itseries of walls constructed as a unit for the purpose of causing acirculation of the products of combustion and also of the fresh air,mnsisting of side walls (3 and 7, :1 top wall or hood tl. a verticallyextendingslightly inclined rear wall l,)- which terminates at a pointbelow the hood 8 and also at a point above the lower edges of the sidewalls. and an inclined auxiliary rear wall 10 which extends from thehood 8 to a. point, below and to the rear of the upper edge of the well3; the well 9 being also located at a point well in front of the rearedges of the side wells 4; and 5.

The loii er edge of the Well 10 extends to it point in close proximityto the rear Well 1 of the main casino so that o passageway Specificationof Letters Patent.

The forward side of his plate extendsin close proximity to the burner 15, "which is one of ordinary gasburning form, While the rear side of the plate 12 extends up between theWalls 1 and 9,

The side wells 5! ttl'lfl 5 are provided with laterally extendin flanges16 end the side walls (5 and 7 have laterally (amending side flanges 17which overlap the flanges 16, these flanges not only provid ng the pointof attachment for the front grating 18 (shown only in Fig. 3) but alsoserving to hold the interior walls in toper position in the main casing;the top E2 and bottom 3 of the main casiiig also hevii laterallyextending Ages 19 to which the grating the lower edge where. they arebroughtagein in intimate relation with the llziine oil. the burner sothat all prmlucts of combustion will be oonsunled.

The wells (3 and T terminate atpoints above the bottom and below the top2 and are also spaced from the walls l and 5 so .lhat an air passagewayis provided between the Wells 9 and (3 and Walls 5 and 7, as indicatedat 20 so eulation ofcool air between these walls which escapes at points21 just shove the hooi 8, this air not only serving to cool the sidewells iend 5 but, becoming warm dur-- ing its passage between the Walls,is dis charged in :1 more or less heated condition into the room.

fill of the Wells are preferably constructed of sheet metal, the hoodand. well 10 being covered with asbestos fiber like the wall 9 and theinterior of the wells l: and 5, the top 2 and flanges 16, 1'1 and 19with asbestos boards (not shown).

The burner 15 has at each end it clown that there will be 2i Cir ea erswardly extending lug 23 which lugs fit in loops 22 on the interior ofthe walls 6 and 7 so that the burner maybe easily removed when desired.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that a gas burning stoveis provided which is extremely simple in arrangement and number of partsemployed; also one in which the products of combustion will becirculated continuously before the flame of the burner until entirelyconsumed so that no unpleasant odors will result and the necessity ofconnecting the stove with a flue obviated.

The construction is also such that the parts of the stove may be readilyremoved for repairs or other purposes, it only being necessary to removethe fastening devices which secure the front grating in position, afterwhich the burner and interior b'ailie walls may be easily removed fromthe main casing.

The stove may be installed in a fire place or in. the wall of the roomif desired or may be provided with a base and legs so that it can be setat any convenient point in the room, up

Having thus described our invention, we claim:

1, In a stove, a main casing, a main baflie wall located in said casinghaving passageways above, to the rear and below the same, a gas burnerlocated in front of said baflle wall with the gas outlets thereof abovethe lower edge of said wall, and an auxiliary well located between saidbailie wall and said burner so as to form a continuation of thepassageway beneath said baffle wall, the upper edge of said auxiliarywall extending to a point in close proximity to the gas outlet openings.

2. In a stove, the combination with a main casing, a main baflie walltherein, a hood above said wall, said main baffle wall havingpassageways between the upper edge thereof and said hood, to the rear ofthe same and beneath the same, a gas burner e, in said casing in frontof said main baffle with the gas outlet portions thereof arged above thelower edge of said main bah. wall, and an auxiliary wall located betweensaid burner and said main bailie wall so as to form a continuation ofthe passageway beneath said main baille wall, the upper edge of saidauxiliary wall being located at a point in close proximity to the gasoutlet portion of said burner.

3. In a stove, a main casing, a burner therein, a main baflle walltherein, a U-shaped plate embracing the lower edge of said baille wallbut spaced therefrom, said baiile wall also having passageways about theupper edge thereof and to the rear of the same communicating with saidpassageways formed by said U-shaped plate, the passageways formed bysaid plate extending to a point in close proximity to the burner.

in a stove, main casing, a main baflie wall therein, a hood above saidbafiie wall, an auxiliary bailie wall extending from hood to a pointbelow the upper edge of said main bail'le wall so as to provide apassageway about the upper edge of said main bafile wall, said mainbal'lle wall and the rear of said casing forming a passageway back ofsaid main baffle wall, a gas burner extending across and in front ofsaid main battle wall with the gas out let portion thereof above thelower edge of said wall, and a second auxiliary baffle wall between saidburner and main baflle wall to form a continuation of the passagewaybeneath said main ballie wall, the passageway between said secondauxiliary wall and said main ballle well being extended to a point inclose proximity to the gas outlet openings of said burner.

5" In stove, a main easing, a burner therein, a main baffle wall, a hoodabove the upper edge of said wall, and. an. aux-- iliary ballle wallextending from said hood to a point to the rear of and below the upperedge of said main wall, a U-shaped plate embracing the lower edge ofsaid main wall but spaced thercfroin,- said baitfie wall, hood andll-shaped. plate forming passageways which extend. about the upper edge,behind and around the lower edge of said main bafile wall to a point inproximity to said burner.

6. In a stove, a main casing open at the front, a removable burnertherein, inner side walls forming air spaces between the same and thesides of said main casing, a main bafile wall forming a passagewaybetween the same and the rear wall. of said main casing, auxiliary wallsalso forming passageways about the upper and lower edges of said mainbaille wall,.said main baffle wall, aiilxiliary walls and inner sidewalls being connected together a unit and removable from said maincasing.

in testimony whereof, we have hereunto set our hands this 5th day ofJune 1916.
